More about China...

Today in class we continued to watch our movie or video or whatever on China. It continued on how we benefit from their work and they benefit from when we use what they make and so on and so forth. It is all really interesting how it works because it makes you think. Like in the movie the guy asked people if they ever thought that China and the US would get in a fight. The people said no because we need each other too much and are too close. It made me think about what might possibly happen if the US and China did get into some kind of fight or disagreement. I think that it would be really bad. We rely on China to build so much for us that if it all stopped like every store that gets things from China would go out of business until the US started building their own things. Then China wouldn't have to build so many things and wouldn't have us buying from them so they would be making as much money and people will lose jobs. So if this ever happened it would be really bad to be honest.

China and Booming Money and What Not

Today in class we watched more of the China video and we learned more about how we have our products are made in China so that things are cheap in the United States. That saves us a ton of money. Then we started talking about ways that things would change in the future. We determined that money wont exist and the world will just use credit cards. So basically when you get paid from work your money will just go straight on your card. This way you can't loose or have your money stolen. For the use of your credit card you would have to either get your finger scanned or a retina scan so that the machine can tell that it is you and and not a random person trying to use your credit card. We also talked about how babies will have chips put in the neck when they are born so that when they are older and something happens they know where they are. I think that it is fun talking about the way things will change in the future. I also like making up and guessing things that we will do and make in the future.

CHINA!!!

Okay so today in class when we got in there Mr. Schick asked us about the last thing that we took notes on. I had to go and get my notebook from my locker because I forgot it. When I got back Mr. Schick had the video that we were watching pulled up. After a few minutes of going through to see where we left off, we started the video again. So we watched about how people in China don't have very good jobs. And most jobs that people are doing over there are really hard and they only get a pay of like two dollars for women and four for men. It is not a good minimum wage at all. I mean compared to ours, our is $7.50 a hour and do that for 8 houses you get like 60 bucks. That is not bad at all. We also learned about how they make a lot of stuff for America that way when we go to sell our stuff the price is not that high. I learned that it works like that because since we are not making the stuff we don't need to price it high. If we wee to make the stuff everything would be priced higher that way the US could make that money back.

Assembly News and Test back ...

Today in class we got out test back. Turns out I was two points away from getting an A on my test. It wasn't that disappointing though because I still got a passing grade. After we got our test back we went over every answer so that we could mark in the right answers. Cole got an 100 so I just used his test to correct mine. After that we talked about an assembly that we are going to have tomorrow. Turns out the Ravens speaker is coming to talk to us. He was willing to do it for free even though most famous well known people ask for a pay of money when they go to speak in a public place. I think that it is cool that he is coming to speak to us. Mr. Schick said that if we go up to ask questions after the guy is done speaking than we get 10 extra bonus points. After all that we started to watch a video on China and everything about it.

Test...

Ok so today in class we had a test. We also had to hand in our papers but i didn't have mine printed out. I was allowed to give it to him after school so it worked out okay. For the test we were allowed to use our blogs. Part of the test was things that we already had. That was nice because I memorized it pretty much which made it easier for me. I also had a lot of the information on my blog so it was pretty good for me. I think that for the most part I did well. There were only a few question I kind of had to guess on because I didn't have the info. After we just got to talk which was fun. And then we watched two little short videos on the whole bombing thing.

Fridays Class

Okay so I was back at school today. In class I had to give my information about the countries to Ellie. Turns out two of them that I did got erased. So I had to work on finding them again which was a pain. I guess it wasn't that bad though. Then I had to go to Ellie's blog and copy her things to put onto mine since we were partners on it. Then after we were all done going over the countries Mr. Schick explained that we were having a that's on Monday. If was on stuff that we did and some new stuff. We had o know who goes with what country and where the countries are located. I think I'm kind of ready for it, bu I'm studying over the weekend. I guess we will see. Okay turns out that I also have a 500 word paper due on Monday to on two of the countries. I am not too excited about that, but I'll try.
